- troydoogle7, on 02/07/2008, -47/+176please don't advocate piracy, Nero produces great products and deserves to be paid. You work for free and see how far you get.
- FSUCHEEF, on 02/07/2008, -94/+185Last time I checked this Nero was free at all sorts of places like thepiratebay.org
- Chicken2nite, on 02/07/2008, -1/+74In the last few months I bought a couple of dvd writers, one external LG and one internal LiteOn drive. Both came with OEM copies of Nero. Just saying, that's kinda nice for them to include software to get the most of their hardware.
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -6/+79ImgBurn rulez.
- FIip, on 02/07/2008, -14/+85If Nero produces such great products, then why is there a page listing 7 apps that can do the same thing for free?
- ctrlfreak13, on 02/07/2008, -1/+71Nero used to be awesome, then it went the path of Norton Antivirus and became barely usable bloatware.
- Harbinger67, on 02/07/2008, -4/+50I don't care if it's free or costs a billion dollars, it's still a bloated resource hog.
- sysadmin88, on 02/07/2008, -3/+44although your comment is mostly correct, you might want to use the past tense "produced" because the new versions of nero are crap.....version 6 was awsome.....version 7 and up have had issues since day one....I was forced to upgrade to 7 when i switched to vista...
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -11/+41kde k3b
- tropican8, on 02/07/2008, -0/+28That's because it IS DVD Decrypter. Lightning UK!, the author, received a C&D from Macrovision and was forced to strip out the decryption code. Since the name didn't make much sense after that, he rebranded it as ImgBurn.
- greenlight2001, on 02/07/2008, -1/+26"That's why I love my Ubuntu."
You sound like my grandmother. "That's why I love my TV.... sure do love my internet...." - muka3d, on 02/07/2008, -1/+23Nothing comes close to ImgBurn. It should have been #1.
CDBurnerXP is feature-full, but it's also very bloated and resource intensive. ImgBurn is ~1MB.
Burrrn can be used to create audio CDs, it's also very light (www.burrrn.net). - Bonz0, on 02/07/2008, -2/+21Thanks for this post, I will try some of those apps out.. Nero does nothing but cause problems, sob uses up more resources than Vista
- camirillobrillo, on 02/07/2008, -2/+20Nero still is awesome. Here are some slimmed down versions:
NeroLite: http://updatepack.nl/nero-8-lite/
NeroMicro: http://updatepack.nl/nero-8-micro/ - alaren, on 02/07/2008, -6/+23K3b FTW.
As an added bonus, it comes with the best free alternative to Windows. - superxero044, on 02/07/2008, -5/+21why is this getting dug down?
k3b is an amazing program - troydoogle7, on 02/07/2008, -6/+22For me Cdburnerxp = coaster maker. I hope that there have been some improvements since last year. I just use itunes to burn cds and the rest of the time I use usbs.
- statikuz, on 02/07/2008, -0/+14For just burning ISOs, I really like ISORecorder, just a right-click away from writing the ISO to a CD.
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm - InfeImmo, on 02/07/2008, -4/+17Or you can shove a fork sideways up your ass.
The possibilities are endless... - inactive, on 02/07/2008, -0/+12At least it's easier to remove than Norton AV.
- SlipStream89, on 02/07/2008, -1/+13ImgBurn is a great alternative for the late DVD Decrypter
- Trogdor420, on 02/07/2008, -0/+10Nero 6 is all I ever use. Why do they have to make software more and more bloated with each new release?
- HonoredMule, on 02/07/2008, -0/+10I want Nero, but specifically, a recent, supported revision of Nero as it was 5 years ago. Now it's such a bloated atrocity I'd happily pay for an alternative with the same capabilities, dual-pane explorer/contents interface, similar set of clean, distinct icons, and support for the latest devices. Sadly, our global shortage of good interface designers doesn't seem to be waning any. (on Windows, that is)
- ozid, on 02/07/2008, -3/+12OK Ruben Feffer. I bet you cut your avatar out using Microsoft Paint.
- HonoredMule, on 02/07/2008, -0/+9Bloated is no longer the right word. Bloated sounds like you had too much cake and feel a little indigestion. Nero 7 is more like someone shoved an elephant down your throat, and now the pulverized goo that was once your well-tuned biological system is oozing through your pores, pressed inexorably forward by an ominous grey mass of tusk-wielding elephant flesh.
- Bamborzled, on 02/07/2008, -4/+13Well, those people have also made great products. Competition is good. However, Nero is the commercially-supported product that continues to provide food and shelter for its developers. So, if you want Nero specifically, don't pirate it.
- markperia, on 02/07/2008, -1/+9I use infrarecorder. Its pretty good and has that cool smoke animation while burning. It just wouldnt show disc space above 700mb so whenever Im making data DVDs its all trial and error.
Im gonna try out BurnAware and see if its good. - bodycoach2, on 02/07/2008, -1/+9I've used CDBurnerXP Pro on many systems. Rarely ever have a problem with it. Out of a few dozen discs, only one coaster I can remember. Might be a driver problem with your system.
- narutometal, on 02/07/2008, -0/+8I don't mind Nero to be honest, although I'll surely try these alternatives out.
- kigol, on 02/07/2008, -1/+8except it cannot decrypt protected DVDs.
- deviantsteve, on 02/07/2008, -2/+9You must be retarded to not be able to do that, let alone use linux.
- bat-21, on 02/07/2008, -3/+10Just do a Froogle search for Nero OEM. It's not free but ridiculously cheap, legal and you don't have to worry about viruses, worms, trojans or spyware.
- diktator279, on 02/07/2008, -1/+7Yes. I too love this blog. It is fun. The author is very nice. He seems like he is good to animals.
(wink wink, do you think they fell for it?) - stalefries, on 02/07/2008, -0/+6They said for your "Windows PC". Of course, they're porting all the K apps, so whatever.
- EGOvoruhk, on 02/07/2008, -2/+8Word. I just bought an Optiarc from MWave for 30 bucks, and it came with Nero 8
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -1/+6'Tis why if you happen to be paranoid, you check the comments on that torrent.
- joel8x, on 02/07/2008, -0/+5Here's the condensed version of your post:
What is the best software to pirate DVDs?
To be helpful - I find AnyDVD and Nero ReCode to be the most fool-proof solution - mostly because of AnyDVD and it's plentiful updates. - fourcorners, on 02/07/2008, -0/+5ImgBurn has had the ability to build and burn files and directory's on the fly for a long long time now. On the main menu select 'Build' under the 'Mode' menu and 'Device' under the 'Output' menu then drag and drop your files. Easy as Nero or this program but a lot less bloated, maybe you guys that haven't used it in a while try it out again.
- jer2eydevil88, on 02/07/2008, -0/+5Nero 5 ftw.... its from before the bloat...
- jayzeus, on 02/07/2008, -4/+9Unfortunately I'm dissapointed with CdBurnerXP. I've never been able to run it properly and I can see that I'm not the only one. Burnatonce looks like an awesome app (very small), but it has issues with nforce drivers.
- LocDawg, on 02/07/2008, -0/+4As a guy who is "in" to fashionable looking software I must say that this smoke animation you are describing sounds really interesting. I bet it would impress all my friends and/or make me feel like a badass while i'm burning...hell...SMOKING cds and dvds. One time I put a Lil Weezy CD in the microwave and it SHOT BLUE ***** ELECTRICITY all over the place but when I tried to listen to it after that it was just static.
- LocDawg, on 02/07/2008, -4/+8K3B > all
- brufleth, on 02/07/2008, -0/+4I still can't believe people still pay for Norton AV. It is as bad as most issues it is supposed to prevent.
- javaroast, on 02/07/2008, -0/+4Check uranus for dd for windows http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite/in ...
- camirillobrillo, on 02/07/2008, -0/+4Decrypt using DVD Decrypter: http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/
Compress using DVDshrink: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/d ... - Firehed, on 02/07/2008, -0/+4You ate my words. Nero was sufficient up to v6. I never liked it, but at least it was usable. It became completely useless come v7.
- Genma, on 02/07/2008, -0/+4use good media and lower the burn speed to < 80% the speed of your media, you'll have so many less problems that way. so you have to wait an extra minute or two, it's well worth it. I usually burn this way and over a few drives doing like half dozen at a time I never see coasters in years, working fine with hardware readers like cd/mp3 headunits and such.
- Genma, on 02/07/2008, -0/+4it likes to mess with your codecs too. they started out as a decent burner software but when they decided to become encoders that's when they really hit bloated ***** status. and then you get all these amateur pirates spreading around their image format since they don't know wtf they're doing, sure it's easy to pirate but why bother when there's so many better ones out there.
- xxNIRVANAxx, on 02/07/2008, -3/+7Name an alternative to Nero Vision (encode as MPG2 + burn as a DVD) and I'll shut up. Nero Vision actually is an astounding product.
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -5/+8The old classic "dd" can't be beat.
